Monica Lewinsky has a request for Beyoncé: that the Grammy Award winner edit the name-dropping “Partition” lyric referencing the anti-bullying advocate’s affair with Bill Clinton.
“Uhmm, while we’re at it… #Partition,” Lewinsky, 49, tweeted on Monday, August 1, in response to the news that the “Break My Soul” singer, 40, tweaked the lyrics from “Heated” to eliminate an ableist slur.
This is not the first time the former White House intern — whose late ‘90s affair with then-President Clinton is one of the biggest political and pop culture scandals of all time — has called out Beyoncé for the NSFW mention in “Partition.”

In her 2014 Vanity Fair tell-all, the London School of Economics and Political Science graduate revealed her take on the “Partition” line.

Lizzo, for one, removed the same slur from her song “Grrrls” one month prior. Taylor Swift, Paramore, the Black Eyed Peas and more have also changed past lyrics over the years.
